UIH appointment

Dec 11, 2010

Yesterday (December 10th) I had my first appointment and met Dr Jamal's team.  I originally thought the Lap band but now I am thinking RNY.  I would be able to lost more weight.  I will start my LF diet on Monday.  I need time to get my frig loaded with fresh veges and LF items.
They did say I had to be careful not to start losing too much since I have a borderline BMI and I cannot not go below the 35BMI.  I just need to make sure I do not lose more than 10-14 lbs before surgery.

The nice thing is  by having this surgery I may be able to get off almost all my medications.  No more High BP, no more cholesterol meds, my knee and hip pain should improve, maybe even my RLS.  I do have to stop taking my Naproxan and buy Tylenol Arthritis, I will finish what I have which is only a couple days worth. I hope the Tylenol will be enough.
So far so good. 

I go back January 14th.
